Simple Implementation

When you purchase BuildTools, implementation is a simple, streamlined process. A dedicated implementation specialist will walk you through the steps to set up all of your projects, email, and budgets. That way, you can stay focused on building the best possible homes for your clients.

Although implementing a new software may seem like an intimidating process, we've got it down to a science. Plus, since we were founded by builders for builders, we speak your language, and have designed a product that doesn't require a big shift in your everyday.

One example of our seamless integration? Email. It's a part of our app, so you finally have one system of record for all of your communication and documents. But it doesn't require any special processes for your clients and subcontractors, who may be more comfortable staying in their native email app. That's fine! Simply cc your project-based BuildTools email address (for example, JohnsonHouse@BuildTools.com), and all of your conversations and email addresses are automatically added to that project's folder. You'll never have to sift through your inbox again!

What else does BuildTools help with? Along with streamlining your email process, you’ll see also see improvements in your change order and budgeting processes. Digital signatures give your clients the ability to accept or reject a change order from their mobile device. This means you’ll always know exactly what the client has signed off on, and you’ll avoid those uncomfortable financial conversations later down the road.

If you’re already using QuickBooks, your data is automatically imported, meaning the days of double-entry are long gone. Reduce errors while cutting down on the time you spend on financial data entry.

Dedicated Support Team

We know that questions come up. That's why we're always here to answer them. When you purchase BuildTools, you don't just get a product - you also gain access to a team of support staff dedicated to your success. Whether there’s a feature you’d like to learn more about, or you’re having an issue with something in the app, there’s always someone at BuildTools willing to answer your question. And since BuildTools was built by builders, for builders, we know where you're coming from.

When you implement BuildTools, you'll be able to improve your process, increase your efficiency, and get out of the office and back on the job site. It's more fun, and it's better for your business. Learn more about the impact BuildTools can have on your business in our Communication = Profit eBook.
